Biomedical engineering professors in Germany

30 biomedical engineering professors in Germany, at 19 universities. The most represented are Technical University of Munich, RWTH Aachen University and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. 1 of them are verified faculty: their current appointment was confirmed against their own university's pages or a current faculty record in ORCID, and they are listed first.

The list is built from open publication data (OpenAlex and ORCID), the same data ProfScout uses in the app: actively publishing faculty at the largest research universities in Germany whose recent work sits in biomedical engineering. Retired, trainee and staff-scientist records are filtered out where the public record identifies them. It is not a prestige ranking: professors are listed by how prominently biomedical engineering figures in their published work, verified faculty first. Reply-fit scores, which weigh how likely each professor is to answer a student's email, are computed for your own profile inside ProfScout. Updated September 2026; the list is rebuilt from the open record a few times a year.

Get professors matched to your own background

ProfScout reads your profile or résumé and ranks professors by fit and reply-likelihood, with verified email addresses. Free to start.

How were these professors chosen?

From the public publication record. Each person here is an active researcher at one of the largest research universities in Germany, publishing recently in biomedical engineering, and not flagged by the public record as retired, in training, or in a staff role. "Verified faculty" means ProfScout matched the professor to a faculty page on their own university's site or to a current faculty appointment in ORCID.

Can I get their email addresses?

Yes. Open a professor in ProfScout and you see a verified address where one exists in the published record, their recent papers, and a reply-fit score for your own profile. Every account gets 3 professor unlocks free; see pricing for unlimited access.

How do I write the email?

Read how to email a professor about research, then start from one of the cold email templates. Write it yourself: professors archive AI-written outreach on sight, and a specific question about a recent paper is what gets answered.
